Plot Summary of Broke!: A College Student's Guide to Getting By on Less
"

Kaplan, Dec 2003, 10.00, 262 pp.
ISBN: 0743252101

As this reviewer read the latest tome of wisdom collected by the Trent and Seppy team (not Ren & Stempy), I had three thoughts. First why I couldn't they go back in time and do this when moi was a freshman. Second Rodney Dangerfield's Commencement Address in back to School paraphrasing that it's a jungle out there – let your parents pay for it. Finally where is the advice for aging boomers eking out a living who do not want to write self help advice books.

As usual the dynamic duo obtains plenty of insight from those actually living the college life of always being broke. The primer is amusing, but also seriously provides money management 101 and 102 on topics such as budget, expenses, discounts, legal cash making schemes, and poverty (better known as living on either scholarship or your parent's economy). Fabulous and insightful as usual well worth the price for the student, but perhaps even more for us parents. Now to get that that junior consumer in my household to follow the expert advice compiled by Trent and Seppy.
